If you are planning to go in that direction ... can you please try to
make a minimal example (standalone perl program) to check if that
works at all?
No matter what I try, I cannot get the sorting working. I'm not sure
if it is because of wrong encoding or something else, but non-ascii
characters always come last.
However it is not excluded that my own collate rules are missing on
the system somehow. Namely, "sort" as a program also ignores LC
settings.
